SBE, Inc. and Diversified Technology, Inc. Formalize Strategic Alliance to Deliver AdvancedTCA Solutions; Agreement Supports Turnkey Communications Platform Deployments.SAN RAMON, Calif & RIDGELAND, Miss. -- SBE SBE - Microsoft Office Small Business Edition Inc., (Nasdaq:SBEI), and Diversified Technology, Inc.("DTI Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) A refinement of magnetic resonance imaging that allows the doctor to measure the flow of water and track the pathways of white matter in the brain. ") today announced a formal agreement which allows DTI to deliver more robust AdvancedTCA (ATCA See AdvancedTCA. ) system level platforms to the telecommunication and networking marketplace. DTI's Targa series of AdvancedTCA solutions will be integrated with multiple SBE network interface cards to build powerful ATCA platforms for service provider and enterprise level applications. "DTI and SBE are both committed supporters of modular computing based on the open systems standard," said Pat Busby, president of Diversified Technology, Inc. "The Targa family of ATCA platforms deployed by DTI will now feature highly integrated configurations based on SBE's diverse family of PMC / AMC high speed communication products that increases the scalability of our systems. In the end, the customer wins as focus shifts to the application and the new ability to deliver off-the-shelf solutions with reduced development time." "Recognizing the many advantages that ATCA can offer our customers, SBE and DTI have found it a logical step to join our complementary product lines to create flexible system-level ATCA platforms. Our bundled ATCA solutions will deliver increased modularity, reduced time-to-market, and lower development costs for telecom equipment manufacturers," commented William B. Heye, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
